Holy crap this place is delicious…read more Wow! I guess I'll be back for more because I'm absolutely in love! The humans inside were so welcoming and I ordered the thing I craved which was a serious burger after getting tattooed all day by @annmarietattoo I was amazed from when I first laid eyes on "the biggest cheese skirt" on that cute plate and took a bite of a mouth watering sensational absolute work of art. Took half back to hotel to eat later when I wake up from a much needed nap Just had to share this WOW kind of place because I'll be wowing all the way back home. Super duper recommend stopping by to give your taste buds what they are missing!

The food here is amazing and affordably priced. The salmon was some of the best I've ever had. Will…read moredefinitely return next time we're in Victoria.

Well I bought BBQ pork buns here for years when I worked in town. Retired now I occasionally drive…read moreby Fisgard and Government. If I see a parking spot I'll run in and buy a half dozen buns to bring home. The last few years have been hit and miss. The filling amount is down, the buns are often dry and a bit crusty. It's still hit and miss but unfortunately I've given up buying from them anymore. The sticky rice and Char Siu still look good as ever but I can't confirm anymore. I want to support local but there's other options for me.

It was good, like just good. Amazing prices and the bbq pork bun was pretty average, that sweet…read morebun, not filled as much as I like, pretty good taste and super cheap. If you're looking for something to spend a couple bucks on, totally head there, service is good and all but there are better buns out there unfortunately. Haven't dried their actual bbq though so don't be put off if that's what you'd like cause the meat was pretty good!

Wow this place is legit! We were here on a July 4th weekend, got in line around 11:20 (it wasn't…read moretoo bad) and watched the line just get progressively longer. There's umbrellas along the queue so you're mostly shaded while waiting to order. The wait to order goes by somewhat slowly - in a way that feels well timed to not overwhelm the kitchen. For eating, there's counter space along the water and there's a FEW small stools to sit on underneath umbrellas. Honestly everything does look VERY good and I would definitely come back multiple times; I'd be interested in trying nearly everything on the menu! For this first visit, we got one piece of fried halibut and the poutine. The chips (fries) are VERY good. Next time I wouldn't order the poutine as a party of two because it is pretty salty and filing (maybe it makes sense to share with a larger party). I've got my eye on the salmon sandwich and the tacones for next time.

Going against the general crowd opinion about fish and chips…read more Chips actually were very good. 5/5. But fish for me was not as afresh as I expected it to be and the coating felt little thick for my taste. On the other hand the tacones were lip smacking good. We tried ones with cod but the the flavor was highlighted coz of added coriander seeds in their sauce. Loved the coleslaw. Can't eat those deep fried fish without refreshing side due dish. Salmon was also good. 4/5. We stayed in line for good 40 minutes but found a table along the boardwalk. This was on a Monday evening. At 6 PM. Thankfully, all the time busy marina kept our toddler busy. It's a small shack and right between a seaplane harbor and kayak rental. WOULD DEFINITELY RECOMMEND TACONES!

Looking at the reviews on here I feel like this place has probably really stepped it up since the…read moreolder reviews. We went and we got 10 different side dishes and we could have refills on any of them. We ordered the two person set and had to take half the meat home because we got so much. We are normally people who take home food and we were super surprised there was no way we could eat all the food we got. The staff was super friendly and will also cook the meat for you if you want. The seating is a little awkward some of the chairs don't have backs but I feel like for most people you are leaning over cooking so you don't really notice, if you would want a different seat they seem happy to accommodate.

The food was great!!! Yelp doesn't do justice to this restaurant. So much good food and as my mom…read moreputs it, it "tastes like how it would in Korea!" We ordered the combo for 4 ($187) and everything was seasoned well. The pork galbi was tender and rich in flavor-- a table favorite. The galbi was also good. The 반찬 was also yummy, specifically the japchae, 오뎅, and kimchi. Service was impeccable! The servers available at the time were nice and able to tend to things quickly. Ambiance was also lowkey, nothing too fancy or heavy. it was very casual and feels like home:)

I was exploring this beautiful city and looking for a place to grab lunch. I walked along Wharf…read moreSt. and saw this little window. There's no dining room to sit in. It's just a window to order food and another one to take your order from. I ordered the pulled pork sandwich and a can of root beer. The service was quick. The girl who took my order and made my sandwich was pleasant and quick. I took my food and found a nearby tree and sat under it watching the boats and sea planes pass by. It smelled great, the bbq pork. The bun was fresh and the pulled pork was perfectly placed in the bun, as opposed to being sloppily made. It was easy to lift it up with your hands and take a clean bite. It was freshly cooked, tender, and sweet. Had that smoky smell. Sometimes you will never know what you will find around a street corner. It's one of those inconspicuous finds that you never expect. Highly recommended. There's no parking by the way. But it's worth the walk.

FOOD Half & Half ($37.50) If you're getting chicken, you're going all in on boneless (or bone-in) and at least they offer the ability to try a couple of flavours while you're at it! This time, we tried: - Sweet Honey - decent, but a little too sweet for me... - Original - my tastebud lean towards Popeyes' offering but this was alright. === 3. SERVICE The counter service was pleasant on the phone and in-person. The long wait times (45 mins - gulp) leave a lot to be desired, but also point to the popularity of the place. === 4. ENVIRONMENT It's simple inside if not a little dark, but clean enough. There are tables for small groups of 2 or 4 to eat at and wheelchairs and baby strollers would fit. Supposedly, the joint was started by a 6/49 lotto winner, who since sold it to the current owners. Parking is limited on the street upfront, so you're looking to quickly stop in the residential parking spots along the side streets to eat-in or grab your takeout order.

The only issue I have with this place is the impact it has on my waistline and cholesterol level…read more Some of the best fried chicken in the city imho. The lunch deal is awesome - again not great for my health but so damn good. Don't let the exterior or name prevent you from going there.

The moment I saw the words "Chubby Dumpling" on my Yelp search, it was in immediate yes. We walked over, and it's definitely a small family run business. It's very generic looking inside. We were sat by the window, and our orders were taken quickly. In short time the two items we ordered came out: - Pork & Cabbage Dumplings: Excellent. They're plump, they're fresh, and they were delicious. I can see why they sell them frozen to take home too. - Tteokbokki (떡볶이): Very good. I can't say I'm a good judge of tteokbokki, but it was fresh, had good texture, and not overly spicy. Service is very friendly. Sometimes, the most simple food in the simple places is all I really want, and this place delivered on it. I would definitely go back to try more of their dumplings.

Holy meat heaven! You know what I ordered here? The WHOLE BEAST. No joke!…read more My boyfriend and I heard rumors of this heavenly place and took a cab to go find it. We raced there to make sure we weren't going to miss them (they closed at 4pm on this day) and as soon as we got in the door we looked around and pretty much ordered a little but of everything. The salamis and cured meats are spectacular, the selection is out of this world, the head cheeses are tasty, and the liverwurst and mortadella blew my mind. We had the meat sweats for days because we took everything back to our hotel, wrapped it in baguettes and cheese and just ate forever. It was pretty ridiculous but we couldn't have it any other way. Customs wouldn't let us take it back across the border, and we couldn't wait long enough anyway. Best money I've spent in Victoria, hands down. Do not miss this store if you're looking to host a party, have a great dinner, or impress someone with with a locally made meat-gift! I don't think I have to go overboard next time but I don't think I could visit Victoria again and not come back for more meat.
